Mexico City, Mexico, Jan 18, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The bishops of Mexico have expressed to President Vicente Fox their satisfaction with the decision by the Attorney General to exonerate Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez of Guadalajara and some of associates of false charges of money laundering and fraud.
Bishop José Guadalupe Rábago and Bishop Alberto Suárez, President and Vice-President of the Mexican Bishops Conference, conveyed their comments in a meeting with Fox and other government officials.
Last December 26, the country’s Attorney General decided not to charge Cardinal Sandoval, his lawyer José Antonio Ortega, and José María Guardia López, with money laundering, federal fraud and the use of resources illicitly acquired.
